| Quote:What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:Every extension of knowledge arises from making the conscious the unconscious.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:LEONARD: I've failed, Chris. I can't locate the white collective unconscious.<br>CHRIS: I wouldn't feel too bad about that. You know, western culture hasn't really carried the baton on folklore and mythology. The rise of Christianity put the kibosh on it--the gospel hits the number one best-seller list and everything else gets remaindered.
